I wouldn't be surprised if the reception is a literal backyard reception on the Duggar compound. It would be outdoorsy like the couple while being free for Jim Boob.

It would be hard to have privacy though, wouldn't it? Neighbors could drive by and take pictures. Unless they tented it or something..

I can't wait to see her dress.

I'm still picturing a wedding more like the Duhlards. "Shabby chic" and what not.

Heavy on the shabby and light on the chic.

Oh lordy, Justice. I had to "shop" there a couple of Christmases ago for my then 11 year old niece. Hopefully, she's outgrown it by now. We get her Christmas and b-day presents at the same time, as those events are about 3 weeks apart. 

I think that was the year that charm bracelets were all the rage, so we bought two. 

So, what's the store for upper middle class almost-14 year olds? I have no clue...

Delia's is great, but it's online only now.  BP by Nordstrom is also nice, but a little pricey.  The clothes are timeless enough that your niece can wear them for years (in fact, I'm 25 and still wear clothes from both stores.)

Delia's dresses and jeans are awesome though. You just had to walk past all their teeny bopper shit first.

So, basically this....

I'm in "believe it when it happens" mode. I know Pickles sometimes comes out ahead with things but all she says is that it's comfirmed the wedding is this weekend. Not "so and so leaked it" or "people driving by spotted 5 large white tents being put up on the compound" kind of info. So if it happens this weekend props to her, but little Joy get married without sister-mom Jill being there? Nope, I just don't see it happening!

I think that Jessa and Ben work a lot better as a couple now...

I have to agree with you that Ben & Jessa works better now as a couple then previously.

Also this might be against the grain but I feel that of all marrieds that we been 'bless' to watch at this point those two oddly work well together.

While Jill & Derrick seemed like they would be the better couple during their courtship. Actually their latest interactions, at least on screen, has been making Josh & Anna* marriage a border line picture prefect.

*mainly their marriage prior to The Year of Scandals

I have a feeling that DerJill are back in Arkansas or are on the way. No way she won't be there for the wedding.

Their Mother's Day message was from El Salvador, wasn't it? I think that means she's probably not Joy's maid of honor..

they have been known for fudging dates often. she could have made that message weeks ago and be home now.

Someone just asked Tim and Franicia White (parents of the notorious HeIsTheWay) if they were "planning to come to Arkansas for the wedding."

Tim and Franicia were just transferred to Pensacola Florida.

[Four is Enough]

I would be shocked if DerJill didn't come in time for the wedding. The only reason I can imagine for them not coming this week would be some sort of visa issue or some trouble with their "ministry"... as in, "if you leave after only X amount of time, and stay another six months in the USA, do not come back!" and Derrick is trying to stay as long as possible  without compromising the baby so as to preserve whatever minister status he has. That, or the armed escort he ordered to get them to the airport hasn't arrived yet.

I think this polka dot dress in the middle is going to be the one Joy wears (with the neckline under the sheer fabric adjusted up, of course). It's from "Miss Renee's" shop and she's been squeeing about it for awhile. I think the polka dots look.... youthful. Just like Joy!

[MadeItOut]

@Four is EnoughI think you're right.

 

Also, I have to thank you as your post just made me realise that as a couple they could also be 'jilldill' ...and you know that's how they will forever be in my brain now.

My sister finds loads of Evan Picone and Alfred Dunner at the Goodwill. Perfect for work.

Thanks! I always go to the Salvation Army which is closer and I donate there. Going to definitely check out Goodwill though. I did find  a nice Evan Picone suit for $49 at Ross once but have not been able to repeat that find.

Carlin Bates' IG story says they're "on the road again"....possibly to Arkansas so she can be joy-joy's MOH? lol

A modified version of it, can't have a illusion sweetheart neckline.  It is a pretty dress and the polka dots are fun.  

[Bad Wolf]

Cute, but how will Jana make it modest?

[Jinder Roles]

Wasn't there a picture of some lace fabric that is allegedly Joy's dress on Pickles? It's cute but I'd be surprised if she went for something that fluffy...and sheer.

Maybe but JD was on her IG story yesterday so maybe she was in Arkansas or JD was with the bateseseses and now they're on their way to Joy's wedding festivities.

[marmalade]

They were all in Florida, and the plane landed in Nashville a couple of hours ago, presumably to drop off the Bateses who went to Florida with the Duggar contingent. 

eta: I imagine the Bateses, save Carlin (if the wedding really is on Saturday), will come out as a group. However, with all those Bateses, Wallers, and Smuggars on the plane, it certainly exceeded its 10 seat limit. I wonder how THAT worked, aside from illegally?

Lawson, Carlin, Smuganna, JD, Wallers. And that's just the adults. That only leaves 3 seats left for Mack, Mike, Paul, Marcus, and Davia, all of whom are too old to sit in car seats (which is probably illegal anyway).

Nathan was also with Carlin in her snap story yesterday, he flies as well. I think he flew Carlin and any other Bates to FL, and JD took any duggars. Also entirely possible that Carlin is also road-tripping with somebody to AR today.

As someone who will most likely love pink and polka dots my entire life, I too am squeeing over that wedding dress. Way more girly and whimsical than I thought for her. But SO FUN!!!
